You love to sit down for a nice meal with your hubby, but you have split schedules. So what do you do when you come home from work at 5, but your husband doesn’t get home until 7?

You’re too hungry to wait two hours to eat something, so you end up eating twice and doubling your calorie intake, all to spend some quality time with your main man. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to use up all the calories that come from eating two dinners, especially when you consider that you’ll just be going to bed in a couple hours, leaving no time for working out.

So how do you follow a healthful eating plan and spend time with your husband? First, remember it’s your husband’s company, not the food, that makes the dinner enjoyable. But then again, we know that sipping a cup of herbal tea while your husband digs into a steak isn’t the most enjoyable activity in the world.

So instead of eating two full dinners twice, split up your meal into two smaller parts. Eat a bowl of tomato soup and a small green salad when you get home, which will help you stay full for the next couple of hours. Then, when your husband arrives, you can enjoy your steak and potatoes right along with him. After all, keeping a close eye on how much you eat will help you stay healthy and slim, which means more energy and confidence in the bedroom, and what man would complain about that?
